Things to do in Brisbane
Brisbane is a busy metropolis and the capital of Queensland, Australia. The city has been a popular destination for both Australians and tourists from all over the world and has a great deal to offer! Enjoy the hustle and bustle of a large city, the many beaches, water activities, restaurants and shops and also bask in the quiet and beautiful nature reserves surrounding the city. The beauty of the city of Brisbane is at its high point at night. At night the buildings lining the river banks are lit up and the colors reflect onto the water's surface creating a symphony of colors and offering spectacular views of the Brisbane skyline both on the ground and along the water. The city of Brisbane by day is also great to explore as you can take a boat ride down the Brisbane river, explore the monuments, stunning architecture and check out local shops and eateries!After you have had your fill of city life you can always retreat to bask in the splendor of nature and wildlife. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a fun way to interact with the Australian wildlife. Here you will have the chance to get cuddly with a sweet koala, hand-feed kangaroos, see a variety of birds, shows and other animals! Another place to interact with animals is the famous Steve Irwin Australian Zoo. Here at the zoo you can also interact with the animals with the addition of seeing crocodile shows, a little train that takes you to all parts of the zoo and a number of friendly zoo experts ready to answer any questions.
